Moon Lights?

[djnzlab1]

HI,
I had my new moon lights set to come on after the white/blue go off, and I noticed many of the soft corals are glowing a light green, and I noticed many of the fish are very active under the moon lights.
Are they ever going to sleep..
I usally kill the moon lights around 12 pm when i go to bed my main lights are timed to power up after 7 am and down at 6 pm is that enough light for soft corals .
Now there is a little dusk and dawn due to natural lighting thru window shades and so on.
Every day is a new discovery.

Yes the 11HR photoperiod is enough (i think)...what is your lighting?

I run my moonlights 24/7 as they arent extremely bright...but most say they arent necessary.

^about the lighting, a MH will do all it can after 8 hours or so, and the rest should be supplemented by PC/T5. (correct me somebody if this is wrong)

Yes, I would leave it as is

Personally I check weather.com and use a random days sunrise / set
